Professional sports athletes sing the praises of Wii Sports Resort

By  •  Wii

Darius Knight, Table Tennis Professional: “I loved the control of the Wii MotionPlus in Wii Sports Resort – it meant I could map my movements precisely on screen. Every flick of my wrist was faithfully mirrored and I found myself having to hold the controller exactly as I would my racket to get the effect I wanted. It even reproduced a backhand with spin!

Wesley Haeke, Kendo Champion: “When I played swordplay in Wii Sports Resort, I was surprised how realistic the Wii Motion Plus sensor made the game. I had to hold the controller exactly as I would a Shinai to get the precision I wanted, as well as holding stances such as jodan no kamae exactly as I would in a tournament to beat my opponent. Winning the game requires concentration, patience and precision, just as in real life.”
